Info

Info

Pangora is the name of the lemmy soft fork thats being primarily worked on by members of programming.dev. Its aimed so that we can add features on top of lemmy and prioritize them based on what the instance needs while still being able to push changes upstream to lemmy if they accept them.

This also makes us more decoupled from lemmy so that if anything major happens to lemmy we can keep going with maintaining the site without any issues.

Pushed an update to https://pangora.social to improve various aspects of the instance selector.

Instance Preview

Instead of directly sending someone to an instance it will instead show a preview of the instance so they can see info on it. Info includes:

  • A description of the instance
  • Name & Icon
  • The site administrators (hovering over an avatar gives a popup with info on them)
  • The instance uptime
  • Where the instance is hosted
  • The software and version used for the instance

Theres also a get another site button that pops up if theres more than 1 site for a certain category. When clicked it just gives another one in the category.

Category Shuffling

I changed around the locations of some of the categories and added some new ones. Certain categories will point to general instances until a specific instance is made for that category (but it exists with the general instances for now so I can automate adding stuff to it in the future)

Regions was added as a main category instead of being in other, and crypto and finance was moved into technology.

Pages

If theres too many subcategories for a category it now gets split up into different pages. Currently only happens in the regions category and replaces the old behaviour of using an other category to then send people to another section with more


Wanted to do another update before I start focusing a ton on ludum dare. There may be another update that gets pushed recentish to make instance owners be able to add themselves to categories but unknown when that will go out.

If you host an instance and you want it to be listed (and it isnt already) just let me know and ill add it.
